For eons, it seems, women the world over have made use of a staggering arrayof highly imaginative aids to preserve or improve on what nature bestowed uponthem. Nor are these beauty secrets always the privilege of the rich, buttranscend class and even, in these equal-opportunity modern times, transcendgender.
And while it's true that Westerners of both sexes sometimes go to extremesto maintain their physical appeal - in the form of cosmetic enhancements, fatremoval, and any manner of unpleasant and expensive, not to mention risky,procedures, it's sadly true that some of the most basic beauty secrets in factcost very little and can help those who follow them to the letter to maintainboth their health and their attractiveness.
A true fundamental of any beauty regime is adequate hydration. Yes, drinking enough of that bland, inexpensive substance water (6-10 glasses per day) isde rigeur for plumped-up, glowing skin and efficient elimination of all those nastytoxins our bodies are awash with in these polluted modern times. As an innercleanser and flusher-out of dross it's unbeatable, and an essential staple amongbeauty secrets.
Obviously diet plays a big role in skin condition too - if you're deficient in thenutrients necessary for good skin health, your complexion will suffer and youmay well look older (and more tired) than your years. Regular consumptionof fruit and vegetables and their juices - especially the organic kind - will helpboost energy and prevent deficiency, unlike refined foods which I find often havea lethargic effect which does nothing for your energy levels and joie de vivre - one important source of your inner as opposed to outer beauty.
Exercise is, of course, another well-known beauty secret for the way itoxygenates the blood, and, like H2O, is a totally gratis resource! Even fairlygentle exercise like jogging or swimming can help with skin tone and improvedcirculation and digestion, leading to more efficient metabolism and eliminationof impurities, which enhances the health generally and the skin specifically.Exercise also leads to the release of endorphins - those feelgood chemicalswhich give a natural high and more optimistic outlook. Staying positive in turnmakes for a healthier immune system and possibly longer life.
As so many people's lives revolve around close relationships, clearly one of thebiggest beauty secrets of all is the making and maintaining of close and deepties throughout one's life, for the support and nurturing that these can give intimes of need. Also, and not least, for the simple, undemanding companionshipand sense of community spirit relationships in general provide which can helpkeep at bay the isolation and even alienation that so increasingly affects modernman, with a correspondingly negative impact on his health and well-being.
